Chapter 263

My villains #263

51. Farewell to the truth (5)

As dawn broke, a wind from the northeast pushed dark clouds over the mountains. Thanks to this, the blizzard that raged throughout the night disappeared as if it had been washed away.

The clear sky revealed like that was incomparably clearer than any other autumn day. Thanks to the sun’s strength for the first time in a while, it seemed like it would be the warmest day in recent years.

Hicks and Rowen tidied up the early breakfast table while the newcomer Three Naught spent the snow in the front yard of the guild hall. Then, as Heila put the teapot on the hearth and finished welcoming guests pretending to be a daily routine, Baron Shahenna this has come With fully armed knights and cavalry at his command.

As I had requested, the baron sitting across the table was clad in plate armor like the knights lined up behind her, but at first glance he didn’t look very nice.

“What have you been doing since morning, Baron?”

When I calmly asked, holding back the laughter that was about to leak out, Baron Shaenna, who placed the helmet on the empty table, stared at me. ‘Is this bastard seriously asking now?’ It was a searching look, so I put on the kindest expression I could.

The baron kept his mouth shut and continued to tear at my face. The silence went on for quite a while, but since it was impossible to remain silent forever on the subject that came to me first, Baron Shahenna opened her mouth with an expression as if she had chewed a cow.

“...Do you know anything about what happened last night?”

“What happened last night?”

I scratched the bottom of my ear for a while, then I opened my eyes wide as if I had remembered it belatedly.

“Are you talking about the prison break? Did you ask if it was a dove or a stork?”

“...not a dove or a stork. But it’s not a similar story. So what do you know?”

“You know what? I am the one who just told you.”

I leaned back on the backrest and crossed my arms. The baron’s eyebrows narrowed, but he continued talking without hesitation.

“It is very strange that a flying animal that is not a monster breaks a prison and takes a prisoner. Well, there may be some people who are embarrassed by that.”

“It’s not embarrassing, but there are dead people.”

“Oh dear. I’m sorry.”

It was a sincere statement, but she bit the inside of her lip as if she didn’t like something. Like that or not, I asked with an innocent face.

“Is that why you came? Do you want to make a request?”

“request?”

“yes. Even though I’m a knight, most of the guys below are mercenaries, so I sometimes get requests. Of course, if the conditions are good.”

Baron Shaenna’s face wrinkled even more at my natural words. She was putting her gloved hand on the longsword’s furmal, when she heard a ‘crackle’ sound.

“I don’t need your help to catch a prisoner.”

“Oh is that so? thank god.”

“Are you happy?”

“yes. I don’t have much confidence in the stupid things of chasing birds.”

“This one—”

The baron was about to say something when an old man stepped out from among the knights she was with. It was Master Secento, a wizard with a long beard.

As I had already noticed through the flow of magical power, he hid himself among the knights and cast a shadow. He must have looked all over the guild hall.

But I’m not an idiot either, so I disguised myself as a doctor or a clerk beforehand for those who might get into a fight like the spell thief Saitz or Master Hagni. Of course, the Lenca they are looking for is not here.

Master Cecento, as if there had been no success, shook his head silently after making eye contact with Baron Shaenna.

“......good night.”

What’s good?

Baron Shaenna jumped up from his seat and glared at me.

“I’ll give you some advice.”

“......yes?”

“Refrain from action.”

She leaned over and cast a shadow over her face. And it was a warning in a low, whisper-like voice.

“It is said that you should not go wild on the subject of having no treadmill and do not provoke the nobles who have become bigwigs. If you don’t want to be miserable with your lord as we enter a new era someday.”

...It seems like I’ve seen it somewhere, but even so, I didn’t feel intimidated because it was a white face without a single wrinkle.

In the end, I couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. Baron Shaenna, who was about to turn around at the sound, turned to me and opened his eyes white.

“...what’s funny?”

“Hmm. Oh no.”

I wiped the bottom of my eyes and apologized.

“sorry. A person who can’t even take care of himself is worried about me, so I smile without even realizing it.”

“...what?”

“how is it? Anything wrong?”

“huh. After interpreting the formula, it seems that the destination is also the palace.”

The materials required for the spell were not so plentiful, so the dimensional door was about the size of an ordinary door and would last for about 10 seconds.

10 seconds. It is a very ambiguous time.

If you hurry a little, more than 10 people can pass through, but if the dimensional door closes while passing through the door, your body will be cut off as it is. So, Ellen explained, it would be safer to use only six or seven.

And, of course, moving through the dimensional door is a one-way ticket.

Since the coordinates of La Palais Palace were entered correctly on the golden plate, it was possible to move there, but it was impossible to return there even after the work in the palace was finished.

“I need a ‘Dimensional Compass’ to measure the coordinates for the portal.”

“Dimensional Compass?”

“huh. It is a very rare magic tool. All I know is the one in the secret store at La Palais Palace.”

In a word, once you cross the dimensional gate, it becomes impossible to go to the Seteniora Monastery.

Even if we say that we set off for the monastery as soon as we cross the dimension gate, it will take four months, and then the next book will be a lot later.

“...Hmm, it’s a bit twisted. How long will it take to get things done at the palace?”

“I don’t know exactly. If it is short, it can be completed in a month, if it is long, it can take more than a year.”

“what? why?”

“It’s the false accusation that I killed Master. Since I caught the sights, I can take them off easily.”

Ellen continued with a calm face but with burning blue eyes.

“The important thing is Galnar.”

“Your uncle? You’re the new kid who’s framed you. Isn’t it just a matter of getting him caught while clearing his name?”

“It’s no use. They would lie, saying that they didn’t intentionally frame them, they just misjudged based on the circumstances.”

“Besides, Galnar took up the vacancy created by Master’s death.”

“A vacancy? What vacancy?”

“Grandmaster. Only the seven most outstanding people of the time can become the Grand Master of the Palace.”

The blue eyes burned even more ferociously.

“No matter how much I am Radakalin’s enemy, I can’t fight Galnar head-on. Besides being a grandmaster, he is also a direct descendant of Radakalin.”

“Then what do you mean?

“First... I have to get the other grandmasters and people who will believe in me to push him out of his position. Dealing with it comes next.”

Ellen chose her words for a moment, then added as if she was determined.

“It will be a long fight, but I will be the last winner.” As long as Galnar became the Grand Master of the palace, his power would grow stronger as time passed. Then next time they will send more powerful wizards to kill El Renn.

The undead army besieging Seteniora Monastery is a headache, but the Grand Master of the palace, Galnar, is also an urgent problem.

“Anyway, only six or seven can go to the palace, right? Can’t you use the dimension door when you come back?”

WO ” Heh.

“Hmm. Let’s think more about who to take. Whatever decision you make, you’ll have to wait for Utequai to return.” The boy nodded quietly. Still expressionless, only eyes shining blue.

Soon the year will pass, and Ellen will be only eighteen, even if she is one year older.

eighteen. He must be too old to face the harsh fate of false accusations and revenge.

“Ellen.”

“Would you like a hug?”

As she smiled mischievously and spread her arms, Ellen calmly dug into his arms instead of acting meanly like usual.

I patted his little back while smelling the subtle scent of lime. How long did it take for Ellen to fall asleep in my arms?
